Oreo 8.0.0 build ONE PLUS A3000_16_171116

[illiniah]

Enjoying Oreo on my 1+3, I downloaded from Germany VPN setting today. It has the September security patch. I have been using 8.0 for a few months on my Pixel C and this is a nice update while I have been waiting the 2 months for my 2XL to ship from Google in early December.

I noticed that the"1" on the clock on the lock screen is Red now, cool touch. The picture in picture works great with the YouTube app. I use Nova, so I can't comment on the 1+ launcher updates.

The support for this phone has been fantastic!

Did you hard reset after the OTA update or just upgrade and go? I prefer to do a hard reset after a major upgrade but really don't want to spend the time needed to reinstall and tweak everything on my stock OP3.

I didn't even factory reset when I switched to the beta channel, you'll be fine.

Probably, lol.

Lol! Love that caveat.

I will have to find another Google camera to use in place of v1.4 that I currently use. I think I have a link for that though.

Did the OTA to OOS 5.0 without issue tonight. As expected, gcam v1.4 would not run. So I uninstalled it and installed Arnova's 5.1.016 version as found in the link below.

Look for one in bold red

Under Settings-Advanced-Bluetooth Codec is there an option for the new LDAC codec that is supposedly a part of Oreo?

I think you're getting your wires crossed, you can't use a DAC with Bluetooth.

Either way, you can't change the Bluetooth codec in the latest beta, so I doubt you can in stable.

I also VPN'ed to Canada and got the update last night. The update failed once but when I did it again it updated fine. So far so good. Some changes here and there. I tried the split screen which works with some apps. Kinda cool. I do have a question.

The Wake Screen when you pick up the phone is slightly different. It shows more notifications and battery level which is good. But the clock has the hours digits bolder than the minutes digits. That's fine I guess. But the hours digits change to red when displaying 10, 11 or 12. At first I thought it was AM or PM but so far only looks like the 2 digit hours. Anybody have any idea what this might signify???

 

[speedlever]

It just might signify ONEPlus.... 1. Get it?

The split screen has been around for a while. That is not new to Oreo.

I was wondering what the red font means too? Anyone know?

Look at the color of the 1 in my avatar.
